Texas Senate

Note: All the Phone ##'s on Here are 512 area code. A special and timely message from our National Committee Chairman, Bill Crocker: THOUGHTS FROM YOUR NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN Dear Friends,      Today a conference committee composed of members of the Texas House and Texas Senate will meet to consider a bill concerning the Texas Department of Transportation.  Included in the Senate version of that bill is an amendment which would authorize additional gasoline taxes in certain parts of the state under certain circumstances.  In this economy, Republicans do not need to be advocating additional taxes for anything, especially anything like gasoline that affects every person and every part of the economy.       If you cannot be present to encourage your Representative and Senator to vote against this bad idea, please take the time to call their office and express your opinion as a concerned Republican.       Please additionally contact the offices of Representative Carl Isett, Representative Wayne Smith, Representative Linda Harper Brown, Senator Glen Hegar and Senator Robert Nichols, all Republican members of the conference committee.  Thank them for their opposition to additional gasoline taxes and encourage them to continue to stand fast.  They will each be subjected to incredible pressures to change their position, and need to know how much you appreciate their commitment to Republican principles and common sense as they deal with this issue. Bill Crocker Republican National Committeeman for Texas

Many of us rallied in support of the people of Texas to keep our taxes within liveable levels and definitely AGAINST the Gas Tax Amendment.  These legislators are getting incredible lobby pressure to vote for the tax, please take time to give them a call to thank them for standing strong for the citizens of our state. NOW is not the time to saddle citizens with a new tax! Thank you for your support of conservative public policy,   Rosemary Edwards, TCRP Chairman
